This has always been one of my favorite museums. The famous "Lady and the Unicorn" tapestries are in a climate controlled room with seats in the middle so you can sit and look at all of them. There are beautifully cleaned parts of figures that were original to Notre Dame and have broken off and been replaced. You can spend...

This is one of our favorite museums in Paris. At the present time it is undergoing major renovations and a good portion of the museum is closed. If this is your one and only time to visit Paris, be sure to stop by to see the incredible unicorn tapestries. If you think you may be returning in the future, hold...

By chance we walked by this lovely place. I was fascinated by its beauty! It truly looked like a castle. This museum is housed in the townhouse of the abbots of Cluny.

I have always loved the tapestries of La Dame et Le Licorne, the lady and the unicorn. To be able to wander through this beautiful setting of the Musee de Cluny, and stand in a quiet room, gazing at the originals, was simply magical. However, there are many other, equally marvellous treasures and artefacts to be seen here. Definitely well...

A visit to the Cluny Museum in Paris is a study in medieval history. The former townhouse and Roman baths contain a fabulous collection from both the Roman and medieval times. The Lady and the Unicorn exhibit shows all six tapestries that have produced several explanations of their hidden meaning for over 100 years. The 9€ admission is well worth...

I recommend the "National Museum of the Middle Ages" only for teachers, professors or students with a particular interest in the pre-Renaissance era; all others, my wife & I included, will be bored stiff.
The museum touts as its highlight "The Lady & the Unicorn" tapestries, 6 in number, circa 1500.
The museum also houses the original stone heads of...

Staying in Quartier Latin

Neighbourhood Profile

Quartier Latin

The Latin Quarter bursts with intellectual life, architectural splendour and ongoing merriment. The small streets are filled with classical buildings, student bars and lively eateries while the squares are dominated by historic monuments. The area is defined by the 800-year-old Sorbonne University, where Latin once prevailed, and is famous for the Pantheon which celebrates the great men and women of France. During the day students rush from classes to the library and intellectuals people watch from the terraced cafés. As night time falls the surrounding establishments fill up and the merriment really begins. The liveliest parts are around Rue Mouffetard, lined with crêperies and international street food eateries, and Place de la Contrescarpe characterised by terraced brasseries, this neighbourhood provides real nourishment for the mind, belly, and soul.
